The US never really closed their border with China. Americans returning from China were let back in with minimal checks, and some were probably presymptomatic.

The US never really closed their border with China. Americans returning from China were let back in with minimal checks, and some were probably presymptomatic. Not only would it have had to be earlier, it would have had to strand American citizens abroad until they could be tested, which was never on the cards.
